    pecan crusted chicken ($28 as of 11/2025) was amazing.  subbed orzo and wild rice for coleslaw.
    North C.

    This review is for dinner at the bar on a Friday in mid-November. service: Both bartenders were very professional and accommodating, despite covering the crowded bar and bustling house. It was dizzying to watch them work that hard! bar: My Bulleit Rye Manhattan ($17 as of 11/2025) was fantastic. I followed that with a Columbus Brewing Yellow Springs IPA ($8). Full bar with very impressive offerings. food: My pecan crusted chicken ($28) was amazing. Also the largest piece of trout I've ever received in a restaurant. I substituted their excellent orzo and wild rice for the coleslaw. details: The place was packed on a Friday night. I snagged a single seat at the bar, but reservations highly recommended. Plenty of surface parking right outside. Didn't see a dress code, but place is upscale and very nice.

    Took some friends here for dinner . They don't eat at nice restaurants like this usually . They were really impressed by the place , service and food. She got the ribs that just fell off the bone and he got the steak and it was so good. Almost melted in his mouth. I got the prime rib it was delicious and is what I always get . The carrot cake was great too . Chris our waiter did a great job . This is a great place to eat and has a good selection to choose from . One of my favorite places

    Steak burger and fries
    Jaclyn C.

    Great experience with amazing food (best steak burger I've ever had). Our server was professional and helpful. The dark candlelit setting was a sexy esthetic, it was perfect for a celebratory dinner. Fries were crispy and delicious. I couldn't stop eating them. The rattlesnake pasta was very unique. I wasn't expecting it to have almost a Mexican flavor to it but boy was it delicious! The steak burger came out perfectly made and was so savory. We also started with the deviled eggs and we both couldn't believe how delicious they were. The candied bacon was a great touch.

    Excellent and very delightful! I recommend blue cheese crusted filet! Our server Taylor, gave the best service I've ever had!

    Wow! The service, the food, the atmosphere is all phenomenal. We stopped by this restaurant on a road trip and boy was it good. They seated us immediately without a reservation. I ordered a steak with baked mac and cheese. The steak was undercooked when it arrived but the waiter was back at the table before I could even call her! She immediately took it back to be corrected. This would definitely be a "staple" restaurant if we lived closer. And to top it off our waiter brought us a complementary carrot cake. It was warm, sweet, gooey perfection! Thanks for making our visit amazing Tracey!

    We always have excellent service & food at this restaurant, but tonight they went above & beyond expectations. I had a 8oz fillet with a backed potato & only succeeded in eating 1/2 of the meal. My husband ate 1/2 of his ribs & potato, so the waitress packed our food to go. We forgot the food & drove back to retrieve it, however, it was already discarded. I told the waitress this was the 2nd time we had done this! She asked what we had, I told her & she asked if I minded waiting while the kitchen prepared us a portion of the food we had. It was 10 minutes before closing & the chefs graciously prepared the food. What a wonderful place to give our business to! Thank you so much for your generosity & pleasant attitude!

    Prime Rib Sandwich
    Sarah W.

    Dined here with friends yesterday and it was fantastic from start to finish. I feel like I should mention that we all used to work here in college about twenty years ago so our standards are high and we are all very versed on the menu. Working here was like restaurant boot camp although we always talk about how it helped shape our work ethic and customer service skills in entirely different careers moving forward. The menu has not changed much which was a pleasant surprise because I was craving some spinach queso dip like you wouldn't believe. We obviously could not order everything on the menu but shared a prime rib sandwich, a veggie burger, and ahi tuna with fries, salad, couscous, and not your ordinary Mac and cheese. Everything was just as good as I remembered. Portion sizes are huge so there is no way we could have gotten more food but the one thing I had fomo over was the smashed potatoes. I was able to dip my fries in the creamy horseradish sauce which is a national treasure, but it's also insanity on the smashed potatoes as well. We also shared a piece of carrot cake which I highly recommend. Service was excellent, and our server was super friendly and humored us by allowing us to tell her about our shenanigans from "way back when" Ambiance is nice, with some updates but still the same dark classic vibe. Great restaurant for prime rib and more if you get the chance to check it out!

    Pardon the glare; I love all drinks with prices on the wall in addition to the menu.

We started with the king crab brûlée, which was as good as it sounds -- rich, a little indulgent, and gone faster than we planned. The Wagyu flight was outstanding across the board, but the Japanese A5 was on another level entirely-- borderline unfair to the rest of the plate. Sides don't always get the spotlight, but the creamed spinach absolutely deserves it. If all vegetables tasted like that, I'd have made better life choices years ago. The potatoes Anna were also excellent --crispy, buttery, and exactly what you want them to be. Dessert sealed the deal. The honey butter cake was fantastic -- warm, rich, and worth saving room for (even if you think you don't have any left). My only "complaint," if you can call it that, is I was hoping to see a bananas foster on the menu -- but I'll survive. Overall, a great meal, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

The service we received was on par with all the other Cameron Mitchell restaurants (fantastic). I always like to try an old fashioned whenever I'm at a new restaurant and Butcher & Rose did not disappoint. When trying to decide on entrees, our waitress described the lobster roll as fresh, buttery and delicious so that's what I went with. Unfortunately, it was just a basic bun with basic lobster and a side of melted butter. I had been so looking forward to trying it, however there was no finesse or excitement to the dish. After the disappointing lobster roll, I decided to go all in for dessert and order the creme brûlée. It more than made up for my disappointing entree. It was beautiful, creative and most importantly, DELICIOUS. It was a great lunch despite the disappointing lobster roll and I will definitely be back for dinner service.

Concerns of food were not taken seriously. Ambiance/Atmosphere: dimly lit, fairly quite setting. A little darker than you'd want. Food: 1. Pretzel bread is soft and has a strong pretzel flavor. Well salted. 6.5 2. Steak tressel was well cooked medium. The garlic added a beautiful back end flavor and the mushrooms were soft and well salted. The crusting on the steak was well done. Steak was tender and well seasoned. 7 3. Gruyere gratin is soft and had a subtle but tasteable seasoning. The cheese sauce was watered and tasted mostly like butter. The flavor was very weak. 3.5. I asked for extra cheese sauce to help and although it brings it up to a 4. It was still quite weak in flavor. 4. HP burger is nicely charred and well seasoned. Tender. The HP sauce is fatty and smooth with a nice flavor. Bun is slightly sweet and airy. 7.25 5. Deconstructed smore is warm, rich, and smooth. All elements blend beautifully into a molten rich brownie lava cake. The marshmallow fluff is smooth and creamy. Graham crackers add a nice crunch. 7.25 6. Banana foster butter cake was warm, soft and buttery. Bananas add a great flavor and the warm butter cake pairs beautifully with the vanilla ice cream. Cold and warm combo is delicious. The alcohol didn't fully burn off and you get a subtle taste with the slight burn. Honestly not mad at it. 6

I've been wanting to try it for a while because I've heard so many good things, so I came in with high expectations.
